Implant Overdentures

INDICATIONS / CONTRAINDICATIONS
Implant overdentures are indicated when patients desire a more stable prosthesis that improves retention, function and speech. The Locator Implant Overdenture is indicated when there is an adequate ridge and the prosthesis will be primarily tissue-borne with the implants providing retention and there are at least four implants in place. Locator implant overdentures are most common in the mandible. The Locator Bar Overdenture distributes occlusal loads more evenly across all implants; indicated for patients with a heavy bite and when the implants have been placed in softer bone. In this case, the prosthesis is tissue and implant-borne.

PREPARATION
Start with an accurate, void-free impression using a custom tray.

CEMENTATION
No cementation is used for attachment to implants.
